…I don’t see anything as bad as the Jackpine Radicals days.

I’m saying that even after I think I personally got a bit of treatment myself that was an awful lot like the way the JPR crew would swarm anyone who they felt had stepped outside their orthodoxy.

We nearly all seem to all be solidly behind the absolutely vital need for Biden to win in November, and for Democrats to keep the Senate and regain the House.

If the JPR crew, or anything close to it were here now, there would probably be a big noisy contingent screaming horrible things about Biden, supporting nuts like RFK Jr., and quite happy to “burn it all down” rather than support (in their view) less than ideologically perfect candidates.
